Todays moment of Happiness - Providence version

Ivan and I flew out to Providence, Rhode Island this weekend to surprise my best friend, Thom, for his 40th birthday. So, in honor of Thom and this surprisingly nice city (I grew up 50 miles away and had always heard that Providence was shite) here's a little Guster playing all live and acoustic-like.

Take two. This lovely picture was taken by the lovely Lea, I believe, in the spring of 2006 when we went there together. We didn't have a clear view like this over the weekend, but I think it gives a nice sense of the place.

I think I'll put a link to her flickr page so y'all can get a gander at her work.

Today's Moment of Happiness - Snow day at Green Lake

It snowed this weekend in the great Pacific Northwest. We'd gone up to Orcas Island and enjoyed watching the snow fall as we soaked in hot tubs overlooking Doe Bay. Regretfully, we have no video of it so I offer you this lovely 69 seconds of winter bliss at Green Lake in Seattle.

Shock Doctrine, Pt. 2

I so want to read this book.
